There were four ladies once went fish
ing. They selected very rainy day,
and they had all their waterproof cloaks
and head and feet covering. They We're
all by themselves when they took boat
and went to fish. 1t was in Maine. With
true feminine earnestness they started off
without anything to put the fish in. They
had AN elegant time until they caught a
pickerel. When they caught the pickerel
they didn't know what to do with it. 1t
was alive and Topping, They had it in
the bottom of the boat. They wondered
why it didn't lie quiet. At last happy
and benign thought struck one of them.
Poor thing! It's getting all wet ly-
ing in the rain.
And she whipped off her waterproof
and wrapped it up in it. Each of the
four caught pickerel, and each of the
four wrapped it up in her waterproof and
the rain wet them through to the skin,
but they kept their fish dry all the same.

Il spent a day in Glasgow, said a
woman physician just returned from
Europe, ''for the express purpose of get
ting peep into the Maternity hospital
there. They are making experiments,
you know, in raising babies by steam
babies prematurely born that would stand
no chance of life under ordinary treat
ment. | went $50 miles out of my way
for a look into that steam baby box, and
| had it, There was one child under
treatment when | got there. tiny thing
that seemed hardly human. 1t lay in a
bed of cotton wool in the upper compart-
ment of an incubator especially arranged
for the purpose. There We're hot water
bottles in the lower part of the box and Il
thermometer hanging at the side to regu-
late the heat. There lay the baby in an
atmosphere of steam. The physicians in
charge said it was perceptibly growing
and would probably live. That's nine

On the island of st. George. Alaska.
where 5000 seals are annually taken,
$4,000 is divided among the natives
each season. A first class share last
season amounted to 1928. When it is
taken into consideration that besides this
cash paid for services rendered by each
sealer every native family on the island
has a comfortable home. with fuel, lights,
medical attendance and schooling free of
charge, it will not seem an eXaggeration
to claim for these hyperboreas IA state of
life which it would be hard if not i'm
possible to improve. With such adj
vantages over his fellow Aleuts it is
hardly to be wondered at that the seal
islander should consider himself trile
better than his poorer cousins. Great is
the tlutter in the social circles of Coma
laska when dusky hero of the bloody
fields of st. George or st. Paul arrives on
one of the company's steamers in search
of a wife. In affairs of this kind the
priest of the parish has great influence,
and it has been whispered that these
good men manage to hold back the
choicest articles in the way of marriage
able danlsels until less desirable stock has
been tioated. thus preserving a healthy
tone to the market. Cor. San Francisco

SEASONABlE HINTS.

The Massachusetts Ploughman has
some timely words on topics of the time.
Among them we note the following on
''settling up accounts" Under this head
the Farmer says: If at no other time, the
farmer should settle up all of his accounts
at least once a year, and if possible
pay all he owes. but if he cannot do this
he should pay all of his small bills, and
get an extension on the large ones. or
what is, as rule, better way, hire
money enough to pay all bills that are
due. The man who pays his bills prompt
ly can always buy enough cheaper to pay
the interest for at least one year on the
cost of what he buys. SO it is really
cheaper to hire money to pay bills
promptly than to let them run beyond
the time they are due, providing the buy
er is one who will use the same economy
when his credit is unlimited. as when it is
limited. There is class, which is quite
large. that buy to the extent of their
credit. This class, should they he able
to hire money to pay their overdue bills,
will feel that they have paid what they
owe, and will in Il few weeks have just as
many outstanding bills as before they
hired money. Such men should never
hire money, for it only sinks them deep
er in debt and loads them down with in
terest money, which will make constant
demands on their resources, and in all
probability they will never be able to
pay the principal. 1t is well to always
know at the beginning of each year just
how we stand; not only should we find
out just how much we owe and how
much we have owing to us, but we should
as nearly as possible, ascertain whether
our farming has paid or not, and very
nearly what has been the amount of gain
or loss. Far too many get hopelessly in
volved. because they make no effort at
the end of each year to balance accounts
| to know how they stand.

THE IVY.

Perhaps the most popular of all house
well deserved. We have nothing else that
will flourish so well in "A dry atmosphere,
and among dust and the deleterious eff
fects of gas from lights and coal stoves.
1t seems to adapt itself to its surroundings
and circumstances, and to 'look at the best
side of everything" thereby proving it
self to be a philosopher among plants.
1t will grow in shady locations. seeming
to care nothing for sunshine. and on this
account it can be trained about pictures
and along the ceiling, and it always has
such cheerful look about it that it soon
comes to be regarded a. friend and one
of the family. 1t ought not to be fast
ened to the wall. but be suspended in
such a way that it can easily be taken

the insects hold on them. After giving
it Il thorough cleaning, syringe well with
clear water. Give this attention twice a
year, and your ivy will not be likely to
become badly infested with this enemy
of most firm. smooth-eaved plants. The
best soil for ivies is ordinary garden
loan and sand. with which a liberia
quantity of bone-meal is mixed. Thi,
fertilizer seems to meet their wants bet
ter than anything else. 1t makes then

Yet how the multitudes thrive. and the

Notwithstanding the dirt and squalor of
the east end populace and the pestilen-
tial dens which are their homes among
factories which send forth volumes of
black. odorous smoke. and pour their
filthy refuse into the tllrbid waters of the
Thames, with its already sodden banks
of mud and putrefaction accumulated
during hundred ages. 1t appears mar
velous that in such a crowded mass of
human and material wretchedness. decay
and general uncleanliness, there should
ever be refreshing breath. sweet

CLEANING WALL PAPER.

Cut into eight portions Il loaf of bread
two days old must neither be newer nor
staler. With one of these pieces, after
having blown off all the dust from the
paper to be cleansed by means of II good
pair of bellows. begin at the top of the
room, holding the crust in the hand, and
wiping lightly downward with the crumb,
about half yard at each stroke until the
upper part of the paper is completely
cleansed all around. Then go round
again, with the like sweeping stroke a
little higher than the upper stroke had
extended. till the bottom be finished.
This operation, if carefully performed,
will frequently make very old paper look
almost equal to new. Great caution
must be used not by any means to rub
the paper hard, nor to attempt cleaning
the cross or horizontal way. The dirty
part of the bread, too, must be continual
ly cut away, and the pieces renewed as
may become necessary. To take grease
stains out of wall paper, mix pipe
clay with water to the consistency of
cream, lay it on the spot, and let it
remain until the following day, when
it may be easily removed with penknife
or brush Exchange.

Cost of IA City Election.

A letter in The New York Commercial
Advertiser presents some very interesting,
not to say startling. facts as to the use of
money in elections in that city. Accord
my to the writer's estimate the amount
of money involved in every city election
reaches the enormous aggregate of 81
500. 900. One-third of this. or $500, 900,
is actually paid out on election day
$3.50, 900 by the city as election expenses,
and $4,000 in the shape of assess
ments" levied upon candidates. The re-
naming million is made up of $,50,000
paid in salaries for hangers on and "hee-
lers," and $250,0O0 paid to district
leaders. In national elections the amounts
are much higher Detroit Free Press.

Tho Depth of Initiative Perfdy.

Queerer still than the caterpilars
which pretend to be leaves or flowers for
he sake of protection are those truly Iii
abolical and periidious Brazilian spiders
which, as Mr.. Bates observed. are bril-
liantly colored with crimson and purple,
but "double themselves up at the base
of leaf stalks, so as to resemble flower
buds. and thus deceive the insects upon
which they prey There is something
hdeously wicked and cruel in this lowest
depth of initiative infamy. a flower
bud is something so innocent and child
like; and to disguise oneself as such for
purposes of murder and rapine argues
the final abyss of arachnoid peliidy. 1t
reminds one of that charming and ami
able young lady in Mr.. Robert Louis
Stevenson "Dynamiter, who amused
herself in moments of temporary gayety
by blowing up inhabited houses, inmates
and ALL out of pure lightness of heart
and girlsh frivolity An Indian mantis
or praying insect, a little less wicked
though no less cruel than the spiders,
deceives the flies who come to his arms
under the false pretense of being a quiet
leaf. upon which they may light i'll safety
for rest and refrcshment. Yet another
abandoned member of the same family,
relying boldly upon the resources of trop-
ical nature. gets itself up as a complete
orchid, the head and fangs being nodded
in the exact image of the beautiful bios
som, and the arms folding treacherously
around the unhappy insect which ven
lures to seek for honey in its deceptive
! jaw.-Cornhill Magazine.

In the square close by is statue to
Parmeggianino, of recent workmanship,
and a drinking fountain. There are but
two or three shoots of water in Parma,
but even that is more than one can find
in most of these plain towns, and. es-
pecially to the traveller who has Just left
Switzerland, the loss of running water is
great. No Swiss village is so mean, no
town so crowded, but from an unpretend-
ing iron pipe there gushes forth, pellucid,
glittering and opulent, stream of the
purest and freshest water, which leaps in
a joyous and elastic curve into basin
with a gay flash by night and by day,
and pour off with ungrudging profusion.
But in these Lombard towns scarcely
here and there can be found numbering
pump, with long and massive handle, at
which few minutes severe toll produces
a mighty poor and niggardly dribble of
water Where fountains are they prattle
with fatigued and parsimonious note.
and shelter their inadequacy under some
statue in the modern taste.
AS rule, the modern taste in Italy is
not one whit better than in England.
They delight to honor the martyrs and
the heroes of United Italy No town but
has its Corso Nittorio Emmanuel and its
Via Cavour, with for the most part
statues of the same. Here and there is
Via Massimo d 'Azeglio with no statue
These works of art are not better than are
etfgies of Mr.. Golden or Sir Robert Peel
and the browning horror of all is statue
of Victor Emmanuel here i'll the Piazza
di Corte. 1t would bring blush to the
cheek of a Yankee stonemason. Gentle

4 Night Signal Lantern.

a successful test of the Oatman night
signal lantern was made in New York the
other night by officers of the army and
navy. The common torch, lighted with
lard oil or turpentine, has heretofore been
used for carrying messages at night be-
tween far off stations, on board ship as
well as on shore but the system has
proved Enthusiastically. The Oatman Ian
tern is SO arranged by simple mechani-
cal device that flashes of light can be
shown as desired. These flashes CORES
pond with the dash and the dot in the
electric telegraph system, long flash
corresponding with the dash, and short
flash with the dot. The lantern is not
more than eighteen inches high, and
eight inches square. A small lamp with
the flame in the focus of parabolic re-
flector furnishes the light. Fans close
before the flame, by means of which the
flashes are regulated according to the
Morse system of biography. The flame
is rendered steady by means of forced
draught. The longest distance signaled
has been between Fort Myer and Sugar
Loaf mountain. Va, about thirty-five
miles; signals have been exchanged be-
tween the reservoir in Brooklyn and
Sandy Hook about twenty miles apart
